## Description

Download publicly accessible videos from yt-dlp-supported platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo, and Twitch without additional processing. Provide input URLs as a dictionary with `in_` prefixed keys, for example `{ "in_video": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" }`. For download plus FFmpeg processing, use **Download and Process Video with yt-dlp** instead. [See the documentation](https://renderio.dev/docs/api-reference/commands/ytdlp-download)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `inputUrls` | `object` | Yes | Dictionary mapping input aliases to publicly accessible video URLs supported by yt-dlp. Keys must start with in_. Example: { "in_video": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" }. |
| `metadata` | `object` | No | Optional key-value metadata to attach to the command or preset execution. Example: { "job_id": "abc123" }. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

        "x-pd-app-slug": "renderio",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "renderio-download-video-with-ytdlp",
  arguments: {
    inputUrls: "Input Video URLs",
    metadata: "Metadata",
  },
})
